The
book that integrated the Passion of Our Lord with genuine mental health.
The keys to making the Passion more present. To the initial astonishment of
Catholic moral theologians a century ago, psychology discovered to provide
invaluable guidance in developing personality. In this trail-blazing book,
first published in 1958, priest-educator G. Emmett Carter gathered the wisest
Christian thought about psychology— showing how it can aid the Christian
in: • achieving maturity • overcoming character defects •
conquering emotional disorders
Fr. Carter then shows how sound psychology draws all its strength from the
truths of Christianity—while an even deeper understanding of supernatural
truth and the Cross can be achieved. Highlights:
Where the Bible itself provides us with “a blueprint for the study of
man’s psychic forces”
Pius XII’s instructions to Christian scholars concerning the study of
psychology
Main findings and errors of secular psychology
Why the Christian way is also the right psychological way
Original Sin: the centrality of this doctrine to understanding the psychological
makeup of the individual
The great Christian virtue which is also “the great psychological virtue”
Why it is bad theology—and worse psychology—to hold up any human
being as an absolute ideal
Our Lord as the only universal ideal of character—for everyone, in every
state in life, and in every situation
Exactly how psychology draws strength from the truths of Christianity
The true meaning of self-development, in Christian terms. How some non-Christian
psychologists pervert that meaning
Guidelines for parents and educators
Suicide: why it always means someone has fundamentally erred, if sane
How the Faith provides the only truly adequate psychological defense against
despair and suicide
What should we present as the true ideal of “success” to young
people?
The proper psychological (and Christian) attitudetowards fear
How purely materialistic psychologists destroy the only sure basis for building
up the human personality
How Christianity gives the answer not only to the question of life’s
end, but also to its conduct as the means to that end
Did a sex-obsessed Freud have any real insights?
How your unconscious mind operates
How, in seeking the full development of our human potentialities we seek also
the fullness of Christ, the perfect man
Two dangers in the training of youth
The difference between rebellion and healthy selfassertion
How rebellion leads to neuroses and psychoses
Punishment, a part of a truly Christian education

"shocking" views are held by countless millions, and sustained by unceasing
propaganda from Hollywood, public schools and the government. Result? A widespread
moral meltdown whose catastrophic consequences are just beginning to be felt.
Yes, there is hope. But the hour is even later than when P.J. Gannon, SJ,
spelled out our stark choices some 65 years ago:"Humanity has really two courses
open to it -- to get back to clear thinking and right moral principles, or
to continue its perilous drift towards the abyss."
